- Beholding Christ
Every believer is supposed to take advantage of the finished work of Christ. To walk in all he has provided:
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
He is our wisdom, he is our righteousness, he is our sanctification and many more. Glory to God.
No wonder we are more than conquerors.
How do we behold Christ, James tells us what to do:
Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Jas 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
- Do not forget who God has made you
When you read the Bible, do not forget who God says you are. The Bible is a mirror that tells you who God has made you. Do not forget who the Bible says you are.
If the Bible says you are righteous, live a righteous life, if it says you are blessed live a blessed life.
Just accept what the word of God says about you and do not forget it.
- Read the word of God to know who you are
Reading the word of God is the first step as a believer, but since many read and forget the word, they are not changed into that image, that is why I started with not forgetting the word
- Meditate and Confess it continually
Think through the word of God daily, as you think through it, you will know what to do. The word of God tells us who we are and how we ought to live based on who we are.
If you do not think through it, you will not assimilate who you are nor know what to do based on who you are.
As you meditate, confession of the word is also a part of the process.
When you do these three things, you will find yourself always in a realm of Glory. That glory is already in you, you are only bringing it out.
